News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[JackOutback]

Nah, I reckon he was reliably informed that Joe is retiring but got ahead of himself in hinting towards it and has backtracked. Luke Darcy inadvertently announced Tim Watson’s exit from Seven and got loads of heat from that.

I think the tip BT got was solid based on Joe’s teammates’ reaction to his second goal yesterday. There was something in that.

I’m not saying Joe will retire for sure, but it’s clear he is considering it.

He should not have teased it, it's not like the grand final needed a little extra spice to sell it to the public. All he did was shake up the media, so other journos came out and reported it to get the 'scoop', which in turn added pressure on Daniher. So he's held off and BT looks like the dickhead he is by having nothing.

Is there a more disliked figure than Cornes in the Media? I think NOT!

Sam McClure by a long way in my book.

Love the Corn. You've just gotta learn to not take him seriously

I can respect that he actually seems to have opinions on things. Is some of it performative, sure.

But I'd much prefer that over the "love the way he goes about it" types.

Definitely

Darcy and Ling two of the worst for that reason

Just fake smarmy grossness

Cornes is a bit pathetic with his clickbaitery but it’s part and parcel these days unfortunately

I think with Cornes if you can filter out some of the sensationalism attached, then he's one of the better media performers in my view.

Take for example his statement
"Tim Taranto is not in the Top 150 players in the competition"

Clearly an over-exaggeration and Taranto is quite easily in the Top 150 players in the competition.

Is he however overrated by most in the media, because all they look at are his statistics and possessions?
Absolutely, and that is the main takeaway from that conversation.

Yeh he does it because the over-exaggeration is what’ll get quoted on social media and he knows it’ll generate outrage. So you’re forced to sift through exactly what he’s said to deduce your own takeaways

Cornes is always always negative negative negative. And look at his face - hardly ever ever a smile.

I think it must be hard work being Kane.

Barely gave it 30 seconds mention at the end of the show (that Robbo wasn't even on).

Gonna say that this was not a "mutual" departure

Yep
Has sacking or not renewing his contract written all over it.

 

[Tugga27]

He does realise we got picks 1 and 30 last year?

Assume this will go down well at AFL house.

 

[southcoast]

And how many millions and for how long have St Blunders been gifted?

Selective recall methinks.

Yeah, but he's not wrong re the draft issues. The more higher uppers start making noise about it, the sooner it will change.

Yep

Everyone knows the draft is compromised, make that complex.

Just thought he didn't do a great job in explaining it.

Bit rich to complain just cos St Kilda hasn't benefited much from father son.
Looking forward to them complaining about it if they ever have a top ranked father son prospect lol.
